Your ability to do so is about to end, unless you want to pay 300$ or more a month for “high speed internet.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly planning to overturn the 2015 Open Internet Order, an Obama-era order that classified broadband internet as a public utility, subject to Title II regulations (with some exemptions). As a result of this order, internet service providers (ISPs) are forbidden from using unfair, anti-competition practices like paid prioritization and blocking and throttling. Overturning this order would undo the open internet and open the floodgates for internet “fast lanes,” as well as make it legal for ISPs to promote their own streaming services with faster internet speeds than the competition.
